Chesterfield Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 No longer needed now, but thanks for the offers of help and suggestions, very much appreciated. Anyone in the region of post code BR5 4AX Orpington Im desperately trying to get a load of cakes to a funtion for pensioners at a church in Orpington. A supplier to this church has let them down, and they cant cook their meal for about 80 pensioners, so they have made arrangements to get salad for the day, and even though its not our fault we would like to try and get them some cakes. We have found somewhere to supply the cakes etc, but they dont have any method of taking card payment. Is there anyone inthis area that could pick up some cakes in the next hour and deliver them to a church five minutes down the road, I can paypal you the money if you are able to pay cash for these cakes roughly £70. Need to know in the next 30 minutes or so!! Thanks for any help whatsoever from any kind soul. If you can help, please pm me your phone number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I can do a bank drop for them if it's any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks for your help, though they can't accept that, they need cash over the counter apparently. Trying to get 80 cakes delivered to a group of pensioners is seemingly impossible at short notice. Grrr.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 That's a bit naff of them, even market traders round here take card! Unfortunately I'm miles away, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Phone the local cab office i'm pretty sure they might be able to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 nope, even the local cabbies that do take card, arent willing to take payment for the cakes as well and then hand the cash to the bakery - I suppose that would be money laundering technically though.

-Bradders- Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 well that sucks. Sorry i cant help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yeah, will have to give up it seems - found a taxi company that would take card for their journey, but no way of paying the bakery, and no other nakery locally that has 80 cakes on the shelf ready to go. Oh well, not to worry. Thanks for trying guys, it was much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
